IMPROVEMENT IN FLY-NETS FR HORSES.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettexs Patent and making prt of xesama To Vall whom 'it may concern the manner of passing the lash throughthe hole in the rib and partially around the same, and continuing itin aparallelline.

The object of this invention is tOsimplify and economize theconstruction 4ot' fly-nets, and, at the same time, give substantialdurability with neatness and lightness of nish, theadvantages ot'v whichmay readily be seen. and appreciated by reference tothe drawing andfollowing description of the same. v

The ribs B B are provided, in the usual manuel', with holes for thereception of the lashes D D, at any desired distance apart.

The ribs B B are lashed together by passing the lash D transverselythrough the rib, (see g. 2,) thence half round the rib and up throughthe samehole, and continued in the same direction, and in a parallelline as at rst passed through, thus securing a single appearance on theoutside of the rib instead of thev usual double or looped appearance, bywhich means a much more neat and less clumsy appearance is secured,while, at thesame time, less material is used and equal strengthpreservedto the net.

A net'thus constructed presents the neatest possible appearance to theeye, as, by turning the lashed side ofthe rib on the inside of thenet,0r next tothe horse when used, all the lashes present the appearanceof' being ypassed through in continuous straight or parallel lines, asshown at B B, tig. 1.

:fact A A, fig.'1, the lash is shown in a reversed position, showing thelashes as they present themselves `on the inside ofthe net.

, I am aware that various devices have been used to sccurethe lashes offly-nets to the ribs of the same. I make no claim to any such devices;but

What I do claim, and, desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

lhe manuel' of passing the lash D through the cyl- .indi-ical rib B,thence half around the rib, and upI through lthe same hole,andcontinuing it in the same direction and 4iu a parallelline with thelashas it is first' passed through the hole, as shown and described, andfor the purpose specified.
